Phillip’s debut recording Love you good earned critical acclaim, in the US, United Kingdom, Latin American, the Caribbean, and Asia. Phillip also garnered love from his brethren and sisters all the way from the continent of Africa. Yet it seemed he was flying under the radar: not for long.

Life and Living can bring forth art, whether on the page, on the canvas, or by the press of the piano key. Phillip’s highly anticipated (yet untitled) sophomore recording ready for release, will take you on a journey through survival, relationship, sexuality, and different ways of finding the you truthfully unabashed, but then quiet and vulnerable. He does not leave anything unspoken.

Writing this music Phillip finds, with his collaborator and co producer Fumi-Hito Sugawara, that music doesn’t need a genre to touch. It ebbs and flows just like life. Phillip is called to get in the flow, and bear witness to life’s triumphs and tragedies, committing them to song, sight and texture.
